Questions like, what is one's purpose in life? What is 'I' and 'Ego'. How can I really become a good human being? etc. MORE >
I also understood that in order to really learn something, first step was to unlearn. Learning was easy, but unlearning was the real challenge. Spirituality and Meditation helped me unlearn so that I can truly learn the hidden yet always available lessons of life. I want to offer the same to people and help them a truly happy life. -

Your Brain is Lying to You!
Roger Breisch, Speaker / Provocateur, Dancing With Chaos

We do this every day when we make up stories about others based on very little knowledge of who they really are. Might we find people are far more interesting than our first impressions leave us to believe?
